Finally installed the long-stored Viofo A119 on the DJ. The delay was more due to my OCD/resistance to exposed wires & the use of limited power slots which are dedicated to phones, driver's & passengers.
Gratitude goes to a good bud who brought over hardwire kits necessary for a safe, no-splice, tucked install thru the driver footwell fusebox.
For those seeking to do the same, here's a summary of items needed & procedure I took.
Items needed:
1. Dashcam
2. 5v hardwire kit that includes a long power cable enough to run from the headliner to A-Pillar down to the fuse box.
3. Duct Tape & Zipties.
Procedure:
1. Remove driver door rubber strip, sill & fuse box covers & driver A-Pillar. Careful w/ the last. For units w/ airbag there, unplug the negative batt terminal. Mine has none.[emoji4]
2. Find a fuse that has no power when engine is off. Used the cig lighter fuse since it's powered when key/start button is in both positions 1&2, but not when key is off. Install the fuse tap w/ the stock 15A & the 3A or 5A from the kit.
3. Locate preferred dashcam mount location. Wipe the windshield mount area w/ isopropyl alcohol w/o moisturizer for the 3M adhesive to stick well.
4. Run the hardwire kit's power cable down from the headliner to the A-Pillar. Duct-tape along the pillar to avoid unwanted rattles.
5. Plug the red wire of the cam cable to the red of fuse tap. Tap the black wire terminal to the ground bolt.
6. Install the dashcam & test. Once done, Install back the A-Pillar, Door Sill & Fusebox covers.
7. Tap yourself on the back & grab a cold beer.[emoji481]
Hope this helps!

Thanks, tyr0 sir. That dashcam has become dated sitting & waiting in the parts bin for PeligRacing to do its provincial caravan.[emoji4]
Wiretapping has never been something I've confidence doing. Good thing the kit required no pliers, cutters, solder kits. Whew[emoji28]....So, anyone can do this. PlugNplay, reversible.

Linis sir Travajante. I've been using the same dashcam for 2 years now. It's pretty good though it doesn't connect to the wifi like the newer models.
Thanks, sir. Just shared to help give those who are planning some courage. Haha. What good hobo models are favored & recommended now?Please share here when done, sir! Pelig does awesome work always!!!! Bow & salute!!!!
